Authenticity is Everything
Harrison Ford Questionable Autographs
Some of you know me, and from what I understand, someone caught selling yet another bad Ford autograph has once again, decided to spout off at the mouth. Claims that I am a dealer and I only tell unsuspecting autograph buyers that their item is fake so that I can sell my own Harrison Fords. Again I am hearing claims that the likely supplier of the forgeries is the true expert on Harrison Ford autographs.
Side note the seller sent me a friend request message yesterday with the single question about if I knew a particular collector. In my world this says plenty, and likely tells me where the piece originated.
When I tell people that I track the sale of Harrison Ford autographs, I am not kidding around, I watch sales here, I watch sales on rebelscum and on ebay and other online auction sites.
Who signed them? Who is the forger? I am not going to play games and point fingers, nor will I even guess if the supplier is the forger, all I can do is put together where they came from.
I will give the people that have had these in their possession, that courtesy. They can come clean about where they got them as the "in-person" and "private signing" stories fall apart.
This is the same courtesy I tried to provide to Marc Moser, the last guy caught in a huge Ford Forgery mess. He decided to drag my name thru the mud for a few months as well, but by doing that he just shot himself in the foot. People will wake up sooner or later, and the truth does come out.
I present these images to you, again supplying the signatures and letting the people on this forum and others as judge, you decide the truth. You will also be the deciding factor if these autograph professionals keep their reputations or if they have earned brand new ones.
Every item below has been tracked to the most recent seller, and through his own admission the source of the autographs, I will also include items sold elsewhere by the supplier who admitted on these very pages to supplying some of these.
The pattern is pretty clear to me.
As for the recent claims about me being a dealer, out to only hurt other peoples supposedly reputable business.
Please keep in mind, that anyone that has purchased anything at all from me in the past 5 years has approached me. When they do I usually point them in other directions and offer to authenticate (for free) any item they ask about, from any other source.

I know it's only worth as much as you are willing to pay but I was wondering what other members would consider a fair price for this autograph? Also this image, to me, looks like Ford as Jack Ryan but I can't seem to find it anywhere? Does anybody know if it is him portraying Jack Ryan or just Ford being Ford.

Somewhere between £1-200 pounds, I would say and I think it's from one of his films. It's not, imo, an out-in-the-street still.
I may be wrong but I think items from his more popular movies would sell for a bit more than those that are not. That's why I say between those brackets. It's a really nice piece as well.

It's from "Working Girl," The signature is far fuller than anything he has signed in the last 20 years, value based on that, I'd put it at the higher end of Robin's thought £200+, or $350+ Probably closer to $450-$500

Yeah I hadn't considered that in regards to the fuller autograph part, but then I am a novice collector.
Its a really nice Harrison autograph though - best of luck if you are buying/selling. I would hold onto it if you were thinking of selling but if you are buying, go for it, I'd say.
When OPX did their IP signings back in 2011, I thought, do I buy or not? In the end, common sense prevailed. :) (and it still looks as good as the day I bought it, thanks to the polyester/archival materials I use to house it).

Thanks for the replies guys! I might actually consider purchasing it after all. I really do like that the signature is fuller than most I've been looking at recently and most importantly real... lol. With what Robin said in mind I know I'll regret not buying it. I have a sneaky feeling I'll be waiting for a good while for another one like this to come around my way again! Anyways thanks once again for all the help and I'll keep you posted on how I get on. Hopefully the next time I post here I'll have some good news and my first Harrison Ford autograph!
